Updated

Content point updated to remove a typographical error.
Found in: Year 11, Working with functions (Algebraic techniques): Content ‘Identify a conjugate of $\sqrt{a} \pm \sqrt{b}$ , and rationalise the denominators of expressions of the form $\frac{a}{\sqrt{b} \pm \sqrt{c}}$ and $\frac{\sqrt{a} \pm \sqrt{d}}{\sqrt{b} \pm \sqrt{c}}$ , where $a$ , $b$ , $c$ and $d$ are positive rational numbers'.
